McDonald Pot-Smoking Center

Supposedly there are 15 restaurants in the state of Colorado that have transformed or plan to transform play areas into pot-smoking centers.  Sure why not care about the health of the children; just give them second hand smoke. McDonald's spokesman Khim Aday says he "can confirm 100 percent that this is not true." “He said the false story has circulated since 2015. The story said two Denver restaurants had completed the conversion, while the other 13 were planning completion renovations by the end of 2015. Legal recreational pot sales in Colorado began in 2014.” Wouldn’t this have been wonderful for those who smoke and have the munchies at the same time? Well make in 2030. When marijuana is not illegal and everyone is doing it.

India's "Fake News" Rumor

http://www.wired.co.uk/article/malaysia-fake-news-law-uk-india-free-speech

Malaysia has passed a law criminalizing fake news, with a penalty of up to six years in jail. Yet no-one has defined what it is (Johnathan Head). Which means that anything that the Malaysian government says is fake news, is fake news. While deeply evaluating the article, it (basically) states that the Malaysian government is hiding so much information from the people of their country, which is sad. To my understanding, fake news has deliberately effected different countries economies, which is understandable to have a law against fake news. With the potential ability to imprison, bankrupt or put journalist out of business for publishing poorly defined misinformation, there is enormous scope for abuse, of which the worse case scenario would be outright government censorship, impinging on human rights and make people's lives worse (Priday).

True fabrication with the news

NBC nightly news  former news anchor Mr. Brian William is a prime examples of fake news, fake life, fake everything. He made his story sound believable.. ∵∵∵∵∵.😁  This dude blamed so many people of being apart of fake news, tweeting fake tweets but failed to realize his job was based on lies. Guess telling lies didn't stop from getting hired with another station. "Mr. Williams has been drawing 9.3 million viewers a night, and his position seemed unassailable. Even as the stature of the nightly newscast faded in the face of real-time digital news, Mr. Williams was one of the most trusted names in America and commanded the respect accorded predecessors like Walter Cronkite, Tom Brokaw and Peter Jennings." Ha.. the most trusted person, guess most of America loves fake news.

Twitter rage over #fakenews

Twitter follow @RoflGandhi tweeted “All the top ministers, MPs, MLAs, paid-unpaid karykartas copy pasted the same message. This is possible on PMO's orders only, no single ministry could mobilize that much. PM just tried to pull off a well-planned stunt on #FakeNews.”  It’s funny how people take something and run with it, especially from social media. A link attached shows everyone copying and pasting the tweet. It’s different when you retweet a tweet but be for real making it seem like you were the original of the tweet. I definitely don’t get on twitter for one it’s confusing and two I would rather not see tweet every second.
